This week on Treasure
Island Oldies I paid tribute to David Bowie, who passed away at age 69 after a
battle with cancer. His music resonated with so many people around the world
and it was so good to play some of his songs for you on the show. Last week on
the encore presentation of the feature Hits From Across The Pond with Fay
Greenwood, the spotlight was on David Bowie, and so coincidentally a few short
hours after the live show ended came word that he had died. So I decided it
would be fitting to replay the same feature on this week’s show to end the
tribute. As I am writing this update, I found out that the founding member of
The Eagles, Glenn Frey passed away today (January 18th) as a result of complications from Rheumatoid
Arthritis, Acute Ulcerative Colitis and Pneumonia. Man this has been a terrible
start to the New Year so far with the loss of such great talent. Naturally I
will yet again be paying tribute on the show next week and will play some of
the great songs by The Eagles that featured Glenn Frey on lead vocals.

Your patience is being
asked as our webmaster, Eddy Fisher, tries to fix the backbone of the website.
Several things are not functioning properly, including not being able to change
the background images on the site from Christmas decorations to our regular
colour. The issues are still being diagnosed and you’ll be kept up to date on
how things are developing.

I’d like to wish Cora
Quinn in Peoria, Illinois a very Happy Birthday this week. If you have a
birthday coming up, please be sure to let me know so that I can celebrate your
special day on the show. Send the details to birthdays@treasureislandoldies.com.
I’ll wish you Happy Birthday on the air and also play Birthday by The Beatles
for you.

The Treasure Island
Oldies Blog is playing Bobby Darin with a live version of Beyond The Sea. It’s
our Song of the week. Enjoy!

About Me

I love good music - period, but I have a passion for the music of
the '50, '60s and '70s. I started Treasure Island Oldies for two
reasons: I had to get back on the air; I missed radio so much. I also
got tired of hearing "good times and 'eight' oldies", and knew with all
my previous radio programming experience, I could offer a weekly oldies
show that would feature familiar songs but also a lot of "instant
memories", songs you have not heard since they were first played on the
radio for a short time, then disappeared, seemingly forever. I knew
having someone hear a song they have not heard for literally 30 or 40
years, would touch a nerve. Perhaps the memory of a special occasion,
or maybe just another day, that particular song really caught their ear
back then. And every time I play one of those what I call Lost
Treasures, I get immediate individual feedback from the chat room,
email and my blogs. So I play a lot of music heard hardly anywhere
else. Join me live Sundays 6 to 10 p.m. Pacific, and also, the weekly
show archives at www.TreasureIslandOldies.com Let the memories flow!
